Terry-

You put me in a very compromising position every time I feel the urge to shoot down your comments on this website.  However, I am good natured so I will leave it at that.  You have NO idea what you are talking about!  Mayo Clinic, John Hopkins, & Mass General are ranked top three in the nation for Neurology/Neurosurgey.  It is time for you to find a better doctor, so make an appointment or something.  You don't bring me anything but down.  Your feedback is negative and it is hard to absorb at times.  Look at your glass as half-full as opposed to half-empty.  I am not trying to hurt your feelings.  In fact, I would like to be friends and correspond back and forth.  You need to be supportive of everyone choices, even if that goes against what you believe in your heart is right.  Take care, Terry.  Email lter if you wish.   From, Aimee

Good Luck! Don't listen to all the negative BS smoking something is saying.. like someone said we are so far advance with tech and medication that it can do wonders with your surgery.

Hi, I don't suffer with a 'severe' form of epilepsy, I suffer from myoclonic seizures. Best of luck with your operation.Does this or any other type of surgery cure the problem completely, or is there just a chance of this happening?
